On March 6, 2000, at the Philadelphia Flower Show, EPA and its
CLI partners -- industry, stakeholder groups, and other federal,
state and local government agencies -- formally launched a joint
nationwide campaign encouraging consumers to "Read the Label First!.
Reading the label is the first step to:
- Choosing the right product for your needs
- Keeping you, your children, and your pets safe
- Saving money
- Helping the environment.
We welcome everyone who would like to participate in this campaign
to help us spread the word about the importance of reading labels.
You can read and download campaign materials and information from
this area of the EPA website, and if you would like to find out how
you could become even more involved, you're welcome to contact
us.
